How sweet to be a cloud, floating in the blue. 

C    G   C 

verse 1 
C 
Lying awake, late the other night 
C     G7 C        G    C 
Heard ab-ove me a trembling, 
C 
I looked up, it was a little cloud, 
C          G7 C                 G   C 
From which a  golden string was dangling; 
C 
You know, I gave the string a little pull, 
C       G7  C               G     C 
Just to see what was on the other end. 
C 
Just then a voice came down to me, an' says, 
 C    F    C                 G     C 
"Hey, now, don't you want to be my friend, 


[Refrão]
    G                C              G            C 
And float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair; 
G                C             G            C 
Float with me to distant lands wondrous and fair? 
F                  C              G              C 
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow  
F                  C              G              C 
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow  

verse 2 
    C 
You see I'm just a happy little cloud, 
  C     G7  C         G       C 
I laugh and float and sing my song, 
C 
But the other clouds don't like me none. 
C        G7 C           G    C       
They say I  am behaving very wrong. 
    C 
You see a cloud’s supposed to be sad, 
   C   G7  C                 G        C 
To cry and weep and tear its hair and all, 
C 
It don't matter how hard I try, 
  C     F   C                G       C      
I can't get the first little tear to fall." 


[Refrão]
    G                C              G            C 
Oh float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair; 
G                C             G            C 
Float with me to distant lands wondrous and fair? 
F                  C              G              C 
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow  
F                  C              G              C 
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow  

verse 3 
  C 
I said, "Hey, I like you little cloud, 
C   G7    C           G       C 
You are a nice little fellow, yes." 
 C  
"You making some, kind of a joke?", said the cloud, 
     G7                C              G      C 
"Now can't you see I'm wearing such a pretty dress? 
    C       
You see I am the prettiest little chick cloud 
C          G7   C        G   C 
That you'd find anywhere up above. 
C 
I just dropped in on you a while 
C         F         C            G       C 
To see if you could give me some kind of love." 


[Refrão]
    G                C              G            C 
And float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair; 
G                C             G            C 
Float with me to distant lands wondrous and fair? 
F                  C              G              C 
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow  
F                  C              G              C 
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow  

verse 4 
C 
Just then the chief cloud come into view 
C          G7    C                               G     C 
And says, "Hey, girl, now what you think you're doing there? 
C 
I told you so many times before 
    C    F     C           G  C  
You just don't seem at all to care. 
C 
You know you should be floating up above, now 
C     F      C              G     C 
Don't let me catch you down here again." 
C 
And as my cloud pulled out of view, 
C     F    C                     G         C 
There come falling down a gentle shower of rain. 
C 
Happy rain come falling down, 
C    G7     C        G  C 
Red, green, blue and golden. 
C 
And every drop, as it fell, it smiled 
     F                 C           G   C              
And, throwing back its head, began singing, 


[Refrão]
    G                C              G            C 
Oh float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair; 
G                C             G            C 
Float with me to distant lands wondrous and fair? 
F                  C              G              C 
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow  
F                  C              G              C 
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow
